I jumped from DAoC to WoW when it launched. There are a ton of good memories, the blood plague when ZG opened up. Battling in world PVP at the Crossroads in the Barrens. Or even out near Tarren Mill! Harvesting random supplies for the battles to open AQ (which no one fucking saw because the servers crashed) Everything in and around Wrath of the Lich King. So much damn fun! I remember my coming home from work when LK came out, my wife decided to not go to work that day, and had been leveling all day, and didn't tell me. My only regret was not switching to a Paladin sooner. It really was the best Tanking class there towards the end, and I stubbornly wanted to make a DK or Warrior work. Cataclysm was okay, but Mists killed the game for me. No part of it did I enjoy. I have no place in my house currently for a gaming PC. The one I do own is actually broken down in a storage bin next to my 2 monitors. So as much as i would like to give this game a go again, it isn't happening sadly.

Watched Slenderman the other day. It was fun

I saw this when it came out this and Lock, Stock, and 2 smoking barrells are 2 of my favorite movies. I actually have a slightly amusing story about this movie. At my last job i was telling a coworker about it, and i couldn't remember Jason Statham's name. All I could remember was his name was Turkish. So I went to my desk, and I googled "turkish snatch" the search results were not what I expected, but I should have known better. The funny part is the Net admin and I ended up talking about the movie as well once he called me into his office to explain why I was looking at porn at work.

My heritage is russian, so I figured that was enough. Well shit.

Wait a sec..... I was rigging the votes for @Diddums Something fishy is going on here

https://gamestechica.com/2018/08/08/obsidian-entertainment-letter-of-intent-for-an-acquisition-by-microsoft-leaked/ Obsidian Entertainment Letter-of-intent for an Acquisition by Microsoft Leaked August 8, 2018 Marcin Dzieciol We all remember Phil Spencer announcing 5 new studios acquisition during this years E3. They bought Playground Games, Compulsion Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. The Initiative is a brand new studio that MS is building from scratch. This announcement was quite big in itself but it was not all. Shortly after E3 we started hearing more rumors about Microsoft being interested in even more studios. Then just few weeks ago Matt Booty admitted that they are searching for AA studios which they could support and grow. And it looks like they did not throw words to the wind as Microsoft is getting ready to purchase Obsidian Entertainment. Obsidian Entertainment is a AA studio well known for RPG games. They have made Fallout New Vegas, Star Wars KOTOR 2 and the latest one being Pillars of Eternity 2. Microsoft has worked with them before on few projects in the past like KOTOR 2 which was released for OG XBOX and rumored Stormland for Xbox One which was canceled and nearly put Obsidian out of business. Many said that Obsidian will never want to work with them again but it looks like Obsidian not only agreed to work with them again but also to be bought by them. According to ResetEra user Obsidian Entertainment Letter-of-intent For An Acquisition by Microsoft has been prepared which means that there are getting ready to finalize the deal. Now take this info with a grain of salt as this has not been officially confirmed by any party involved in this acquisition but it’s no secret that MS is looking for more studios. If true this would be a big deal for Xbox owners as this developer with Microsoft backing would sure be capable of delivering great games and Xbox sure need good RPGs. If I learn more about this I sure will be the first to report on this. So stay tuned for more.

So you have a 7?

Kick him in the kidneys for me. He clearly has a cheat or something

Damned Egg hunt, I always lose. I wish you could attack the little kids participating

If I don't know the answer, I can at least help research it.

Okay, I gotcha! I didn't realize you were a newb for android. So I dislike the newer GalaxyUI's I don't find them intuitive, probably because I am old, and have reached a point where change, purely for new shininess, is annoying. Nova Launcher is an app that completely changes the UI in Galaxy, there are a variety of options, I run the one that makes my phone look like the older Galaxy S3 and S4. If you are coming from apple products you might like the new Galaxy UI. I can't really say either way. I will say this though, the Android is almost fully customizable, you just have to be willing to do the legwork to find how to do it.

I don't understand Samsungs need for the curved edges. They are annoying more than anything. I enjoy the phone to be honest, but I had to do several things on it to get it where its actually okay. disable/ remove as many Bixby services as I could Download the Bixby Button remap app. Then I changed the Bixby button to open up my camera. Download Nova Launcher and get it set up. Once I did those, it is actually an amazing phone. Bixby is the biggest issue I have with Samsung products though. They really need to just stop trying to force people to use it. I also picked up a Samsung Gear S3 frontier. Which is absolutely amazing!

I have a samsung galaxy s9+

I can't argue with anything you said. I will add to it though It feels to me like they took the 360 UI and just ramped it up to 11. I need to break out my 360 and see how true that statement is.

Thoughts on this after a few days. (I wont' go into game library comparisons) Being able to play all my old digital 360 games is pretty amazing to be honest. The menu system is absolutely horrible. OMG it is bad. I am pretty sure they had blind people test it using braille enabled controllers. I actually had to ask my nephew how to turn the damned thing off. It is all so counter-intuitive. Graphic's and sound are actually amazing, but its hard getting passed the horrible menu system. The controller is good, it feels nice in Destiny 2, really quick and responsive. My KD actually was better in the crucible. This might be because most good players are on PS4. If so, I should be wrecking shop here soon. The Xbox Game pass subscription service is also pretty nice for 10$, the game selection was better than the PS4 version of it. Using it as a media center is also better, sort of.... Once again the menu system is absolute shit. Their appeared to be more streaming services on it than what the PS4 had, I need to look into this more. Conclusion: The system is actually really good, if you can ignore the UI. The UI is so terrible that is obvious to me why PS4 is dominating right now purely based on user experience. If Microsoft were to address the shit menu system, I could see the Xbone X being a better system to be honest. I have read a lot of horror stories about hardware issues, so I will have to see how this treats me over the next few months.

Pretty much what Rob said. /patientgaming4lyfe!

I need to restart my farm when I have time it seems. Is this going to be cross platform, or no? ( I doubt it, but I wanted to ask)

Yea, definitely selling mine at some point here. I need to see what I can get for it and the games I have.

Be on the lookout for: GUNSLINGER173 S3nnex for clan invites from Xbox 1

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/aug/1/espn-to-bring-back-the-ocho-for-day-of-dodgeball-c/ ESPN to bring back 'The Ocho' for day of dodgeball, chess boxing ESPN will bring back “The Ocho” on Aug. 8 for the second straight year. The channel will rebrand ESPN2 for 24 hours of obscure sports coverage, including competitive eating, dodgeball, chessboxing, kabbadi, darts, sumo wrestling and cornhole. The company tried out the same experiment on ESPNU in 2017. The name “The Ocho” is a reference to the 2004 movie “DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story,” in which a dodgeball tournament was televised on the fictional “ESPN8: The Ocho.” The name also explains the choice of Aug. 8 — the eighth day of the eighth month. Sandwiched between showings of “DodgeBall” at midnight and 10 p.m. that day, the schedule includes screenings of 2006 competitive bratwurst and hamburger-eating contests, as well as some new content such as “The Saber Legion 2018: Awakening” — a full-contact sport in which players fight with lightsabers fashioned after the “Star Wars” franchise. In the middle of the day will be airings of “E:60,” ESPN’s investigative newsmagazine show, and “SportsCenter” at 11 a.m. and noon, respectively. They are likely to be versions of the same show focused only on obscure sports. And what is chessboxing? It’s just chess plus boxing. Players alternate between a four-minute round of chess and a round of boxing, the winner being decided by checkmate or knockout — whichever comes first. “Best of Chess Boxing” will be broadcast at 5 p.m. Aug. 8, live on “The Ocho.”

I have been doing the same on the clan sections of reddit, but sadly I have gotten zero traffic from it. I am going to jump over and try to do the same on the Xbox sections here soon.

It still sucks The security for their accounts is still crap.

Its 30$ here

I am also looking into this. I almost bought it yesterday, but instead started working on a new Plex server.

So I didn't actually read anything I posted, so i have to ask.... Are they stopping the stupid fucking +5 mods?
